Caroline Maxwell is a visual artist who works with the mediums of time, darkness, and matter.  She prefers thinking through one’s hands, the senses, and materials, and leaving behind the primacy of language in how we access knowledge and encounter the world.  She has worked collaboratively with artist Tal Yizrael on the Department of Nocturnal Affairs since 2008, as well as exhibiting her own projects internationally. She lives and works in Los Angeles.

Gili Cohen-Taguri performed her undergraduate studies in the Chemistry department in Tel Aviv University, where she graduated with excellence (2001). She continued her graduate education (M.Sc. and Ph.D.) in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in Tel Aviv under the supervision of Prof. Ilan Goldfarb, focusing on epitaxial thin film growth and characterization by MBE, a scanning tunneling microscope and electron diffraction. In 2011, she joined the Institute of Nanotechnology and Advanced Material at Bar-Ilan University as the head of the X-ray diffraction (XRD) laboratory. There, she gained extensive experience in advanced measurement and characterization techniques of a wide variety of nanomaterials and thin films, while collaborating with academic and industry research groups, in a goal to link between the macroscopic and microscopic worlds.
